I installed remote debug on a distant server. I configurated the firewall by following the instructions at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t(v=vs.80).aspx.
I created an account on the distant server and also on my local computer.
The remote debug is running under the 'mydebugaccount' account. On my dev computer I launch VS2010 as 'mydebugaccount'.

When I try to connect to the remote server, thre remote debugger logs a connection by the 'mydebugaccount' account but VS2010 tells me that a firewall could prevent communication via DCOM.
I tried to disable firewall on both side without any effect.

I have the remote debugger installed to debug a lot of the cross system SSO work I do; I've never gotten it to work consistently, in fact it works about 60% of the time, every time... Though when it does it's the most useful thing ever.
